Percussions

The percussion ensemble SIXTRUM takes young audiences on an exploration of its Archipelago of a thousand sounds. Three percussionists stop off on each of these imaginary islands to discover music that is in turn intimate and exuberant, sailing from one to the other on musical themes inspired by water and wind. Each stopover allows the exploration of unique musical timbres and creations, in a staging that uses object theatre and shadow puppets. Poetic, inventive and festive, this show, specially designed for the youngest, is a wide-open door to the incredible richness of contemporary percussion, and an invitation to travel in the musical imagination of SIXTRUM.

A Sixtrum and Le Vivier co-production
 

This project is made possible thanks to the support of the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec within the framework of the Youth section of the Vivier. SIXTRUM is in residence at the Faculty of Music of the Université de Montréal and is supported by the Arts Councils of Montreal, Quebec and Canada.
